Spark Plugs RX7
Hi guys
i wanna get rx7 spark plugs and put in my 8 but i heard they re bigger so How much longer r they? what can i use as a spacer? Thanks |
Yep, use those rx7plugs that's what I did!
You must use a spacer or you will do damage. If you buy them from mazsport they come with shims already attached |
You only need a spacer for the trailing plugs (which don't make power so there is no need to change them unless you are using a non stock PCM).
The leading plugs you can use without any sort of spacer, as the crush washer on the spark plug spaces it out far enough. But I don't get why anyone would want to change them to RX-7 plugs. The spark gap on a RX-7 plug is only .032 or so... considerably smaller than the .048 of the stock leading plugs on the RX-8. Smaller gap = less spark Less spark = less mileage Less spark = less power The only reason to use a RX-7 plug in the RX-8 is because you are too cheap to buy the correct plug for the car. |

i dont understand....

You can use the plugs if you REALLY want, but I'd say stay with what comes with the 8...they are there for a reason.

What's wrong with using the recommended spark plugs for the RX8? What is the benefit of using RX7 sparkplugs?

I guess he could have about 30 extra RX7 spark plugs and doesn't want to spend more money...?
